Lake Monduran

Lake Monduran is the body of water held back by the Fred Haigh Dam and has been stocked heavily with Barramundi and Australian Bass over the past 12 years.

The Stocking has  been very successful and now Lake Monduran has become Southeast Queensland’s Barra Capital.

The best  time for catching Barramundi is in the warmer months from the end of September through to end of May although anglers still can catch them all year round they are not as active during the cooler months. During  the cooler months anglers who visit Lake Monduran  are able to target our large population of big Australian Bass as they become more active as the barra slow down.

But be warned you must be prepared to lose the odd bass lure when it gets smacked by a big Barra.

Lake  Monduran is only about 4.5 hours drive from Queensland’s capital Brisbane and only 4 Kilometers off the main highway.

The closest town to Lake Monduran is Gin Gin. Gin Gin is a small country town that  can provide everything the travelling angler requires.
